Executive Business Partner

Join Normal, a fast-growing deep-tech startup, as an Executive Business Partner on the West Coast. You will provide dedicated executive support to a small set of senior leaders based in or frequently traveling through the Bay Area. Your responsibilities will include managing calendars, travel, and expenses, solving logistics issues on the fly, and maintaining a flexible operating rhythm. You will also partner with the New York-based EBP to provide backup coverage across both coasts and anchor Normal's presence in the Bay Area.

Discretion as a default operating mode. You have been trusted with highly confidential information and understand instinctively what to share, what to deflect, and how to deflect it gracefully

About Normal Computing

A Bay Area network of restaurants, venues, and last-minute logistics resources

Responsibilities

• Assurer un soutien exécutif de haute qualité à un petit groupe de dirigeants, en gérant leurs calendriers, leurs voyages et leurs dépenses.
• Coordonner des voyages internationaux complexes, y compris les changements de dernière minute, en anticipant les problèmes potentiels.
• Collaborer avec un partenaire basé à New York pour assurer une couverture cohérente à travers les fuseaux horaires.
• Strong communicator on the phone, in writing, and in person. You are comfortable calling a restaurant, a hotel, or a car service to make something happen, and you write an email that represents your executives well, including for principals with more formal communication norms

Requirements

• Worldly and resourceful in a global context. You navigate airports, time zones, currencies, and visa logistics with confidence, and you triage when something goes wrong in a city you have never been to
• Experience as an EA, EBP, or equivalent at a major technology company supporting senior executives. You have done this job at scale and know what "excellent" looks like
• Highly organized and fast-moving. You track many threads at once across multiple executives, time zones, and workstreams without dropping any. You are one step ahead, not one step behind
• Flexible about working style. You will travel to leadership offsites and major customer or conference moments, and you are available for the occasional off-hours need without expecting that to be the norm
• Proactive and anticipatory. You do not wait to be told what needs to happen. You see the gap, the conflict, or the unspoken need and handle it before it lands on your executive's desk
• Comfortable with ambiguity and startup pace. You are happy to operate without a perfect playbook, figure out what is needed, and build the process as you go
• Experience supporting founders or executives in deep-tech, AI, or hard-science startup environments

Benefits

• Experience providing partnered or paired coverage with another EBP across geographies
